OK, Non-Parochial BMDs... http://www.bmdregisters.co.uk

Has several posabilities.
I searched births/baptisms between 1829-1832, figuring she was more likely to put her age up if she didn't have parental concent to migrate.
Also concentrated on London...Kent/Middlesex, figuring her accent would possably give her away to the authorities as well.
And sticking with name Elizabeth, well I would stick with my own name, it's too easy to get caught out if someone yells "Leonie" and I turn to answer if I'd told them me name was Mary.
So, I have 4 Elizabeth DAVIS and 2 Elizabeth DAVIES.

Proplem is, to get full details joining fee of 80 Pounds is required.
So I thought I'd wait and see if anyone has a sub to the site. I'll phone the library, they gave me the link in the first place so if they don't have it the librarian who gave it to me may have it on her home computer. She's a very nice lady, very happy to help and avid genealogist.

Still looking.

Hi there,

Spotted the baptism (but its C of E) for an Elizabeth Ann DAVIS, on 20 May 1832... seems her birth date was 22 April 1832.  Baptism was at St Marylebone, Westminster, Middlesex.  Her parents names were recorded as Evan DAVIS and Ann DAVIS 

I'll keep looking in that area and era for other possibles 

LB, don't spend that eighty quid just yet 

Cheers,  JM

MODIFYING TO ADD, ooooppppppssss  there's a street address : 26 Charlton St, and the father's occupation : Servant...

I think it might be more like 160 quid in Oz dollars.  

I have alway wondered about how exact birth dates really are.
For example; My Mum alway reckoned I was born on a Monday, since she was doing the washing and she ALWAYS did the washing on Mondays. 16.06.1945 was a Saturday, not Monday.
My youngest aunt wanted to marry when she was 18 so need a birth cert and parental consent, got a birth cert. she was born one year earlier. Was only 17. Still got married.  
We know what our birthday is because someone told us that's when it is. What if they got it wrong? I mean, right now I can only say my three were born in 1966, 1969 & 1974. I'd have to look in my birthday book for the dates.  
So maybe the date Elizabeth gave when she was baptised in 1853 was just a guess.  
OR the rev John Fred Churton might have stuffed it up...which in fact he did do. It's written as 1853 then has 31 written over the 53.  (I did post a copy on the thread somewhere  )
Will do that bit again anyway.
